I don't want to sound like a stuck-up prude here, but does anyone else find it really wrong that little girls are wearing T-shirts with the brand of a porno magazine on them?
I took my niece back-to-school shopping a few weeks ago, and went in to a stationary shop. They were selling Playboy pencil cases, pencils, key rings, ring binders and all sorts of Playboy merchandise.
Is it really o.k for stuff with the logo of the worlds leading adult magazine on it to be marketed to children?
What's next? Razzle T-shirts? Dildo shaped pencils?
I see some kids who can't be any older than six or seven wearing Playboy stuff. Am I the only one who thinks this is wrong?

I think its awful, I have a daughter who's 4, nearly 5 and all the clothes available for her size, seem to be smaller versions of stuff I've seen 18 year old tarts falling out of the nightclubs on a Saturday night in!! I want my child to look like a child, not like a hooker!!

its just a bunny its not like theyre wearing the actual playboy outfits and going out in public half naked, that would be completely different. the bunny is a design of another way to make money and ive always wore tops/jeans with the label on it. it doesnt mean im a walking porn advertiser, people can see it anyway they want! on a different note i understand how you feel as there are some things that make me feel the same, but at the end of the day its life and theres going to be things like this going on whether we like it or not. its down to the parents to decide what to do about it, if they allow it its not anyone elses problem but theres.

It's almost impossible to NOT sound like a prude, but I think it's reasonable to object to such a display. If kids want to wear bunnies, let it be Happy Bunny, or any other animal, but not one connected to something pornographic. And the responsibility and blame lies on the parents, because they're the ones with money (especially when they're buying for their very young children).

I agree with you I wouldn't wear it myself and my daughter is 16, I wouldn't want her wearing it either it's cheap and tacky. In general girls are dressing too old for their years and the amount of make up some of them wear. Life is so precious your only young once. Its the pressure from the society we live in that makes them want to be all grown up and that is not right this is why so many of the children today have lost there way. Leave the kids to be kids that's what I say!! Sorry for the rant but that's how I feel.

It is wrong but you have to remember that the merchandise is advertised with a logo of a bunny, which is very appealing to young children. My sister is 12 and she bought a playboy pencil case and stationary set recently, I asked her what the logo meant and she said she just liked the colour and the bunny logo. I agree with you, it is wrong but while these advertisers are trying to sell their products, to whoever will buy, things will never change. To them it is just profits, a shame but true.

Yes, I find it wrong. Teenagers and their parents are not thinking if they let their little girl wear the playboy logo, when she is over 18 let her wear what she wants, but before that she shouldn't be wearing anything of the sort.

No! I don't like the Playboy brand at all, I think it's tacky & not really a designer brand. I'd think it was wrong too if I saw a girl under the age of 14 wearing or owning something by Playboy. It's one of my friends favourite makes, but like I said, to me it's just tat!! I think the attraction with younger girls could be the bunny logo, & with older girls, possibly lost dreams of becoming a porn star or page 3 girl..... dunno...!

I agree, it's horrible. My daughter is 11 & I hate to see how some of her friends dress. I'm not an old fuddy duddy but some of the outfits are tarty & so inappropriate for children. They grow up fast enough as it is, it's a shame some parents seem to want them to be grown now.

It's scary stuff. Kids are growing up way too quick these days. They should just enjoy their childhood. I think it's wrong too...why would someone like their daughter to look like a tart.

Well, gotta learn somehow. Kids are not as daft as people think, and welcome the chance to experiment with things. T-shirts with swear words on them are the most offensive. It is only a bit of titilation, unless they are showing already. Adults do even funnier things. I welcome the chance to see mind expansion, society is so old fashioned.
